We woke to thick fog and rain this morning. It seemed a fitting end to the trip, as we started with rain. Fortunately it cleared off by the time we got to Queensland beach. Of course we went to the beach. From there we drove to Peggy's Cove. Peggy's Cove is a lovely spot. It is a very picturesque fishing village and lighthouse that mostly caters to tourists. An aquaintence of mine who is from Nova Scotia says disgustedly: "They PAINT the fishing shacks! People don't paint fishing shacks." Nonetheless, it was worth the visit. The tourist season began July 1 and we saw ample evidence of that at Peggy's Cove. We saw no fewer than 8 tour busses on the road to and from there. We have been spoiled - sharing beaches with only a few other people, and whale watching with only five people in the boat -- including the guide. Of course, we're tourists too I guess. Anyway, it's time to go home. I miss Mervin and I miss my puppy boys (in that order, I might add). We have had a wonderful time. We highly recommend Nova Scotia as a vacation destination.
